| [Nettime-bold] ELO chat July 25 |
Join us to discuss building communities and hypertexts on the web with Melinda Rackham, author of Carrier. Tuesday July 25, 2000 at 21:00 Eastern, 19:00 Mountain, 11:00 Sydney (Wednesday July 27) at the Lingua MOO (http://lingua.utdallas.edu:7000) Melinda Rackham (http://www.subtle.net/exhibit.html ) is an artist, designer and writer residing in east coast Australia. Her award winning web sites have been widely shown both in Australia and Internationally - included in Beyond Interface, Arco Electronico, Gram, Arts_Edge, Perspecta99, Maid in Cyberspace, Transmediale 2000 and Art Entertainment Network. Her work, Carrier, (http://www.subtle.net/carrier/) recently received the Faulding Award for Multimedia at the Festival Awards for Literature, Telstra, Adelaide Festival 2000. Carrier investigates viral symbiosis in the biological and virtual domains by weaving an intimate love story between the viewer and the hepatitis C virus. The site integrates artificial and viral intelligence with immune system and computer operating system discourse within the swarming electronically networked nervous system of our planet- the world wide web, immersing the viewer in vrml worlds, shockwave games and java generated textual landscapes. sHe - the intelligent viral agent - crosses our species boundary, penetrating our cellular core, repositioning viral infection as positive biological merging with the flesh. We become symborg as the boundaries between human / machine / species dissolve.
